If you like long movies, I highly recommend Sergei Bondarchuk's film of Tolstoy's "War and Peace" - IIRC, more than 7 hours long. I have never seen such dedication to the art of moviemaking. Sergei Bondarchuk also plays, quite movingly, the "central" role of Pierre, a representation of Tolstoy himself in the story. (His daughter stars in another of my favorite long movies, Andrei Tarkovsky's "Solyaris".) Mosfilm has uploaded it on YouTube in four parts: Part 1 https://youtu.be/bIij-KQ0jYU https://youtu.be/bIij-KQ0jYU Part 2 https://youtu.be/uJjqSfdFuUI https://youtu.be/uJjqSfdFuUI Part 3 https://youtu.be/wpKA1meiJzs https://youtu.be/wpKA1meiJzs Part 4 https://youtu.be/nvDMu5e4xzw https://youtu.be/nvDMu5e4xzw

Abel Gance gave us his Napoléon in 1927. About five and a half hours, and originally envisioned as the first of a trilogy—that 5.5 hours only covers his early life and career! It's awesome, and I hold out faint hope that some rich Hollywood film nerd will finish the trilogy, silent and in black and white.
